[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 662095, member: 18958"] SuZir, I too am very sorry you lost your beloved family member. How wonderful that he was so loved by you and your family his entire life. And how great he died in battle. He never knew he was not victorious. In our hearts, he indeed was. Your post is so exciting and I for one so enjoyed learning more about your life and your goals. How full and meaningful your life seems. And how deliberately chosen and savored. As to your next dog. I have met few dogs I do not like, and love many, many breeds. I know you have narrowed down your choices, between Lab, Rottweiler and Rhodesian Ridgeback, and you will decide based upon the direction you want to go and your priorities. While I have lived with Labs and adore them, they have never been my own dog. I met a Chocolate Lab on a walk nearly 10 years ago, and spoke to him and his family for less than 3 minutes and I remember him still. These animals are pure happiness, love and energy. That said, our choice over and over again are Boxers. Dolly is with us now. Before her were Jack and Molly. I think they share a heritage with Rottweilers, but may be more tender, accepting of strangers, and flexible. These are not serious dogs. They love to play. As you already most likely know they too are a working breed. I doubt if they do search and rescue, as I have never seen my Boxer use her nose to solve a problem. They are good with children, especially the females but your children are not so young anymore where that makes a difference. A boxer is a working dog, though, and a family friend and running buddy. Be sure and let us know your choice and let us share with you your first meeting and homecoming. Again, I am sorry for your loss, SuZir. But thank you for sharing it with us. [/QUOTE]
